    Pesto chicken sandwich
    Deanne L.

    No cash, card only. After trying the coffee shop next door, decided to come in for an early lunch. I expected the menu to have more items and less salads, but it was still no problem finding something. Ordered the Pesto Chicken sandwich. Solid sandwich, no frills goodness. Nice amount of pesto. No complaints about the service. This sandwich is $2 off on Fridays!

    We used to take my daughter when she was little to the UCSD location so we have always had fond memories of Croutons. We were in the La Jolla area and were trying to figure out someplace to grab a bite to eat and I remembered there was another location near by. So glad we stopped by. Our lunch was just as tasty as we remembered from their other location. The salads were fresh and loaded with toppings (and they have one of the best ranch dressings). My daughters sandwich was packed with goodness and perfectly grilled as well. Of course one cannot eat at Croutons without grabbing a few of their tasty cookies/brownie bites too. Just good wholesome food. Our order was out quickly and the staff was so nice. They closed at 3 and we were there around 2:15 and were going to get our food to go so we didn't hold them up from closing but they insisted we had plenty of time (and we did). The inside is simple yet clean and nice and there is plenty of seating. They are open Monday-Friday so if you work or are just in the area make sure you stop by. You will be glad you did!

    I Ordered to-go and it was made very quickly. The salad was delicious. I ate it all in my car.

    Medium sized Chicken Caesar Salad, best I've ever had

    The service and the saladas are amazing! I'd recommend this place to anyone! I used to work across the street and my co worker recommended this place to me since it's super close to work

    Farmhouse Vegetable Soup
    Katherine K.

    Near my work so I thought I would try it. Not a big food selection, but I was happy enough with it. I placed my order online for pickup so I wouldn't have to wait in line. It was ready and hot by the time I got there, so their timing is accurate. It's a small place, but has a decent amount of seats. I got their lunch special with half a sammich and soup. I got the Chicken Pesto sammich and Farmhouse Vegetable soup. Between the two, the soup was my favorite. It was packed with flavor and they don't skimp on any of the ingredients. I could've eaten an entire pint of that and I wished I had gotten more. The sammich was good too, but it didn't blow me away. It definitely could've used more pesto all around or a stronger pesto flavor. Not sure if they make the pesto themselves, but possibly tweaking the recipe would help. Price is pretty good for what you get. I would love to come back and try their other soups once the temperature cools back down in a bit.

    Pear & Blue Cheese Salad
    Becky L.

    I love sandwiches, soups, and salads.. There are seemingly endless possibilities! This place has a ton of options of all three items, plus you can mix and match! I ordered a combo with a (warm) Turkey Artichoke Sandwich and a Pear and Blue Cheese Salad. HOLY SMOKES, guys.. it was incredible. The sandwich came on a soft pita bread with the perfect portion of meat and fresh toppings so that every bite was delicious. The salad was so fresh and had generous portions of pear and blue cheese. After tip, this was about $12, and I would've gladly paid more after knowing how delicious this was. I came during a lunch hour rush, but that didn't have any impact on the quality of their food - it was delicately plated and assembled with care. Staff were busy handling phone orders and walk-in customers, but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my food was ready! If you are one of those people who think that a sandwich or salad can't be filling , think again! When you eat quality ingredients, your body will thank you! I don't live or work near here, and I'm genuinely sad about that. This place is incredible, and I will definitely be back.

    5/5 chicken and wild rice soup: rich, creamy, hot, and filled with so much flavor! This is the best soup I have ever had, and the best croutons that I have ever had. This has set the standard for how good I expect soup to be now. 4.5/5 ambiance: Interior is clean and has plenty of seating. There are tables outside for eating outside. 5/5 parking: there is plenty of parking in the lot.

    I was in the area last week and saw this restaurant had opened. My co-worker and I were looking…read morefor something to eat and decided to head over. I ordered the lamb/beef gyro sandwich with Nick's fries and a drink. The lady taking my order was very nice. The owner greeted us and asked if we worked in the area. We told him we worked in Kearny Mesa and he said the Balboa location should be open next month. They opened 3 locations so far in the last 3 months and that will be their 4th. That will definitely be much closer. The food was good. Not the best gyro I've had but it was full of meat. The Nick's fries were OK, I probably wouldn't get them again. The price was fair for what I received so I would have no problem visiting again. It will be nice when the Balboa location opens so I won't have to go as far at lunch. I will definitely be back to try more.

    I've been eating Greek food my entire life, but this fast casual restaurant absolutely made me say…read more"Opa!" The portions are large, everything is seasoned to perfection, the salads are fresh, and the tzatziki was phenomenal. The Gyros Sandwich was full of lamb meat, and the Greek Salad was huge. The fresh vegetables and garnishings were plentiful. Nick's Fries consisted of natural cut french fries topped with Spicy Tzaziki sauce. These 3 dishes each complimented one another and made for a wonderful meal. Where has Nick The Greek been my whole life? It's like Daphne's on steroids! A combination of a Mom & Pop Greek place with modern fast casual "have it your way"... I think I just found my newest go to for Greek food!

Sandwiches were ready when I got there (there a take-out rack on the wall, on left of the register). Love the classic paper bag each sandwich comes in. Thai Roast beef is great. They built it with such care. You get every ingredient in each bite. French bread was so fresh and soft. Also ordered the Pastrami Bomb. Pastrami is great! Ingredients are so fresh. Inside does have some seating. Lots of parking outside. Definitely coming back to try other sandwiches. Btw...doggy mascot is so cute.

Not sure why they took the persons order in front of me, then walked away when it was my turn. I digress! So you can't modify anything using the kiosk, so I after I placed the order I asked if I can have the hummus on the side she said no problem. I get home and guess what, there's no hummus period. They even wrote on the receipt hummus on the side. Aside from this mishap, both sandwich were delicious. Good amount of meat and the veggies were crisp and fresh. I think next time(yes I will try them again) I will get my bread light toasted. Prices are decent.. way better than Subway and Jersey Mikes. Oh and I also got a Strawberry Matcha which was very good.
